[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have gone from no homework to mandatory homework. Homework will now be worth 10% of our kids grades. How do I get them not to cheat or use the latest AI software and actually learn something. [/quote]

My homework will count as 1 point. A classwork activity I can monitor and keep computers and phones away will be 10. A quiz will be 40. In a unit with 100 points of formative work, less than 10 will be from HW. If they want to cheat on  10% of 30% of their grade (3% overall), so be it. The other 97% of their grade will suffer if they don’t take it seriously.

I am going to use HW as a tool to teach practice for the sake of practice, not gaining points.

I will make HW completion a mandatory checkbox to take any retakes though. Missing it? No retake until it’s all done.

The rough part is going to be grading it. We have been told we cannot grade for completeness, only correctness, and grading an average of 75 HW assignments for accuracy every day isn’t realistic. That makes me want to go to whatever computer program they eventually contract for us, which the kids will probably hate.[/quote]
